I agree the floater would be a much better option. I am running a 2# now and it made no difference. It's just not enough to move a caliper piston. I have all this money tied up in these calipers and e brake setup. A hydraboost will be cheaper but will I be happy with it? Guess I better do my due diligence. There has been talk of a 10# residual and that wouldn't bother me on a track car. But I do drive it alot of the street and that worries me a little.

Makes me wonder what The Pozzi's would run... or what Steve is running on Bad Penny etc.

I was thinking about that the other day....I may be doing a little detective work in a couple weeks. You in?

I will post this - you might have read it already - but as usual - "others" here may not be as familiar with all of this - and these forums (IMHO) are best used for LEARNING lots of stuff - even if it doesn't directly affect "us"...

This is a link to StopTech - and a page on KNOCKBACK...

In the short read -- they offer some "advice" -- and in the end... their advice for a STREET driven TRACK CAR is to get used to tapping the brakes!!

But here it is - because it offers solutions to think about - and it's a good read.

Good to hear you had a good day except for the brakes Todd.
Glad the power steering worked out. Your car is sick. It must have felt awesome outrunning those other cars out there!
Keep up the great work.

Thanks Greg.....my problem is that I experience is putting around town as well. Not severe but noticable. I'd say 1 inch pedal change on the street and almost to the floor on the autocross.

WOW!! That's just scary....

So here's the 64 dollar question -- if it's the knockback that is 'causing this -- what good would it do you to install a power adder... When going to the floor etc is a fluid / fill / recovery issue rather than not having ENOUGH pressure once you overcome that problem?

Just talking out loud here....
